    37: Rich's Coffee Manifesto- His Principles and What Drives Him

    Today we have the pleasure of hearing Rich's Coffee Manifesto! This stream of consciousness, written in April 2023, are Rich's core coffee values and the DNA of what drives him. Rich believes coffee should provide a "sensational exceptional experience." He strives to elevate broader standards of expectations surrounding specialty coffee. The experience of coffee should be modern and be beneficial to both business and our culture, "rooted in overall hospitality." Pull up a chair with us to hear Rich read and dissect his entire 3-paragraph manifesto and learn why he believes coffee (and you!) deserves better. What we are listening to: Maggie is listening to a song called "Turn" by The Wombats. Rich is consuming videos by Matt D'Avella on YouTube. If you were a cup of coffee, what kind of coffee would you be?

    34: Will the Real House Coffee Please Stand Up? Reboot & Rebrand

    We're baaaaack!!! And we are THRILLED to be launching a new season and new direction of House Coffee. Consider this show to be two podcasts in one, packed with all things Coffee (Rich) and all things House (Maggie). This episode starts with what we've been listening to and transitions to a summary of how we plan to structure House Coffee into our respective realms of Staging/Real Estate and Specialty Coffee/Hospitality. Rich and I are super passionate about our realms, and we thought it just made sense for us to lean into those kinds of discussions because YOU probably want to hear more about that too! We think this new direction will be refreshing and frankly, much more engaging than before. So buckle up, and get ready to ride on this new exciting journey of House Coffee Podcast with us! Send us your topic requests or industry questions to housecoffeepodcast@gmail.com Special thanks as always to our trusty sound engineer and producer TJ McMaster for mixing this episode.
